Mediation
Mediation can play an essential role in successfully resolving disputes involving estates, probates, trusts, marital property, charitable organizations, and/or estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax issues. When there is a conflict among family members, economic disparity among heirs, mentally or physically challenged children, divorce and multiple marriages, entrepreneurial or closely held business, or any other scenario that lends itself to future litigation, the use of a Qualified Independent Third Party or mediator reduces this probability. The mediation process is designed to achieve successful resolution of highly emotional and contentious conflicts that arise among individuals, distributees, heirs, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, and taxpayers in a manner that seeks to avoid or reduce the significant economic and personal costs incurred by the parties to such disputes.

Steve Tackett serves as a Qualified Independent Third Party or mediator, helping attorneys with estate planning and probate practices, trust companies, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and CPAs resolve or avoid the contests of wills, estates, trusts, and transfer taxes.

Mediation often allows for a less costly and far more creative and satisfactory solution than may be obtained in litigation. Mediation is highly successful in resolving disputes while saving time and money and preserving important relationships and the confidentiality of the parties.
